The new Hard Rock Casino Rockford at Interstate 90 and East Street is on track to open by late August. The resort needs to hire around 400 full-time employees before then.

That job falls to Aleksandra Micevic, who herself is the newly appointed human resources manager at Hard Rock.

The 36-year-old of Serbian and Bosnian descent told WREX that she is looking for “rockstars” with “positive attitudes.”

The Hard Rock Casino Rockford will replace the temporary A Hard Rock Opening Act casino at 610 N. Bell School Road. It will become the 16th retail casino in the state. Illinois online casinos are prohibited, but efforts are ongoing at the Capitol to change that.

Micevic was hired by Hard Rock in 2019 as brand manager.
